His catch includes the New York Times's crack Political Reporter David S. Broder and the Saturday Evening Post's Stanley Karnow, whom Bradlee has sent to roam Southeast Asia. Nicholas von Hoffman was brought to town from the Chicago Daily News and now travels from one ghetto to the next to assess the miseries of slum life. Hired from the New Republic, Wolf von Eckardt provides some...
